I love the blur effects on the old Micronaut packaging. It added to the very weird futuristic feel of the toys. Those things nail a vibe that’s hard to put into words… The movie “Beyond the Black Rainbow” reminds me of that vibe: retro-high tech and techno-New Agey.

The effect on the toy packaging is more like a lighting effect: light emanating from behind, shooting out of hands. APC’s version is sad. It just looks like a bad photo. No doubt they were trying to capture Mego’s designs…
